Well first off let me just say that unlike most of the comments I've read on this film, I went into the Cinema totally `blind` so to speak, I had "NO" preconceived ideas, I'd never even heard the Title of the film until I entered the foyer, and I just wanted to see something different, well I can assure you "THIS IS DIFFERENT" for one thing it's thought provoking, well constructed, and doesn't feel the need to explain every minor detail, Danny Boyle figures if you're 18 (UK Certificate) then you'll be able to work things out for yourself, as for people saying the acting isn't great, I think it's spot on, I don't know what world they live in, but given the circumstances within the story, I'm pretty sure thats how I and most of the people I know would react. that said the film isn't perfect and does `Jar` in a couple of places, but you can make your own mind up on that score. I'll end with a little bit of my own philosophy ........ don't EVER let a bad review stop you from going to see ANY film, most "Cult" and "Classic" films started with lousy reviews. "so sayeth the Dissector"
